Frontend

Great Open Source !!!

I am just wondering if you can helping me in some issues that I cannot figure out:

Shortly, I have a custom post_type called (event) that has a custom date meta-box called (event_starttextdate),
and all I want to do is to list the events' years (should be links) as an archive ???? But when I tried to query all the events' meta-box (event_starttextdate), it print start date (Month and Year) for each event, which is not correct, I want to list it as an archive (with no repeatable dates).

Hope that you got it.

Thank you.
Best,
EF.
